Hey everyone,

Here a nice strengthening sun salutation, great to do in the mornings after you warmed up in downward facing dog for a good few breaths. I learned this one during my retreat with Clive Sheridan. work on adding in that extra chaturanga coming back up from upward facing dog, strong arms will surely be the result :) Hope you enjoy it.

Part 2 of our series on Yoga for sciatic pain

Hey everyone,

Here a short introduction to chia seeds, a simple superfood with great benefits! I drink it after my yoga practice, before all meals, and it has absolutely improved my energy levels! Its full of protein, omega fatty acids (which is great if you don’t like fish oils!), iron, potassium, vit A and B, zinc, lots of anti oxidants. Basically well worth adding to your diet for you health. Look here what to do with it and how much to take!

Be healthy,

Hi everyone,

I can’t believe I never did something about sciatica before!!! But here it is than..

Some advice and the first pose you can do to help you cope with sciatica. A very painful condition where the longest nerve of the body is somewhat inflamed. A very common condition that you can really do a lot for! Yoga will help it, but you need to know certain pre cautions and I will give different poses that will be very helpful to bring the body back to balance! If you know someone who suffers from it, send them the link, you can always help yourself with exercises..

The pose I show is a variation to locust pose to help strengthen the muscles in the lower back , while increasing the circulation in the hip area.

Enjoy the road to feeling better…

Hi Everyone,

Here part 3 and the final part of this somatic series. Doing all 3 of them in a row when you are in pain, tense, stressed is very healing. Do them slow, less is more, focus on the release, be with the breath and stay away from pain.

Enjoy it!  It might become one of your favorites!
